| Feature | Our Product Performance | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Insulation (U-Factor) | 0.26 U-Factor | 0.26 U-Factor Maintains stable indoor temperatures and improves overall comfort year-round. |
| Air Tightness | Class 4 Air Tightness (EN 12207) | Up to 30–40% Tighter Sealing outperforms typical vinyl windows, resulting in fewer drafts, less dust infiltration, and improved indoor comfort. |
| Water Resistance | Class 9A — 600 Pa (12.5 psf) | Storm-Ready Design Designed to resist wind-driven rain during heavy storms, reducing the risk of water leaks and long-term moisture issues. |
| Security & Locking System | 4–6 Multi-Point Steel Locks (RC2 Rated) | Multi-Point Steel Locking System Distributes force around the entire frame, offering significantly stronger resistance to forced entry than single-latch vinyl windows. |
| Sound Insulation | STC 38–40 | Noise Reduction Significantly reduces traffic and outdoor noise, creating a noticeably quieter and more comfortable indoor environment. |
| Frame Construction & Reinforcement | Steel-Reinforced uPVC Frame (German System) | Steel-Reinforced uPVC Frame Ensures the window maintains alignment and smooth operation over many years of use. |
| Egress & Ventilation Performance | Superior Safety & Airflow The egress opening exceeds U.S. code requirements, providing a safer emergency exit and superior ventilation compared to standard single-hung windows. |
|
| Conclusion | This is not a standard vinyl window. It’s a European tilt & turn system built for comfort, safety, and long-term reliability — at a practical price point. |
Rehau Euro-Design 70
REHAU Euro 60 Premium uPVC Tilt & Turn Window: Double-pane tempered glass with Low-E and Argon gas (.94"). Screen included. Suitable for replacement and new construction.
| Thermal Performance |
The REHAU 60 system uses a multi-chamber uPVC profile combined with Low-E, argon-filled double-pane glass to achieve a whole-window U-factor of approximately 0.26. Compared to many standard American vinyl windows, this results in improved insulation, reduced heat transfer, and more stable indoor temperatures, especially in hot or windy climates. |
| Air Tightness & Sealing |
The tilt & turn operating system incorporates a triple EPDM gasket design with a central compression seal. This configuration allows the window to achieve Class 4 air tightness under European EN testing, providing significantly tighter sealing than typical U.S. single-hung or sliding vinyl window designs. EN testing values are shown for comparative reference |
| Water Resistance & Weather Protection |
REHAU 60 is tested to Class 9A water resistance, demonstrating strong performance against wind-driven rain. Water resistance levels in standard vinyl windows can vary depending on product line and operating design, making system construction and sealing approach a critical factor in long-term weather protection. |
| Security & Locking System |
The window utilizes a perimeter multi-point steel locking system with several locking points engaging the frame simultaneously. This design distributes forced-entry loads around the sash and frame rather than concentrating stress at a single latch point, offering enhanced security without visible hardware. |
| Sound Insulation |
With an STC rating of approximately 38–40, the system provides noticeably better sound insulation than many standard vinyl windows. This can significantly reduce traffic noise, street sounds, and general outdoor disturbances, improving indoor comfort in everyday living. |
| Frame Strength & Long-Term Durability |
REHAU 60 frames are internally reinforced with galvanized steel, increasing structural rigidity by approximately 40–50%. This reinforcement helps prevent sagging, warping, and sash misalignment over time, supporting smooth operation and long-term reliability. |
| Egress & Ventilation Performance |
The tilt & turn configuration allows the sash to open inward almost fully, creating a net clear opening that exceeds IRC emergency egress requirements. This provides improved safety, easier emergency exit, and significantly better ventilation compared to traditional single-hung window designs. |
| Conclusion |
When all performance factors are considered together — sealing, durability, safety, sound control, and ventilation — REHAU 60 delivers a level of performance that goes beyond typical vinyl windows. This system is designed for homeowners who value long-term comfort and reliability without paying luxury-brand premiums. |
